I broke my char apart at the arms, waist, neck, wrists, and ankles. I combined, merged verts, and softened edges when I was done doing what I was. Anywho my problem now is that when I render the seams are still showing up...the weird thing is, is that it is only some of them. The waist area is only on one side same with the arms. The neck doesnt show it at all and neither do the ankles or wrists. I tried softening the edges in those areas again to no effect. Any ideas? Also do I need to render in mental ray for normals? if i render in software to see a quick color map my normals are super jacked.
